nxlog opening and orphaning tcp connections to logstash

Running version: nxlog-ce-2.9.1716
Logstash: 5.3.0

Nxlog opens and leaves open mutiple tcp connections to the logstash server. But on the nxlog client only one tcp connection is open.

I think Nxlog is doing something wrong because all the connections are all in the ESTABLISHED state so maybe its not gracefully closing them?

Is nxlog broken?

You should investigate further why logstash is not closing the connections properly (e.g. check the logs). Perhaps you have some network gear/proxy firewall between the two that terminates the TCP session?
